A delicate monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and long, looping entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with frequent open counters and rounded terminals, giving the rhythm a buoyant, gliding feel. Capitals are more ornamental, featuring extended swashes and occasional looped structures, while lowercase forms stay relatively compact with tall ascenders, long descenders, and minimal punctuation-like stops. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, using simple strokes and gentle curves rather than rigid geometric construction.
Well-suited to short display copy where its loops and swashes can be appreciated—wedding invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and social graphics. It works best at moderate-to-large sizes and with generous tracking or line spacing to prevent flourished capitals and long descenders from colliding.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, evoking a handwritten note with a polished, romantic finish. Its light, flowing motion and soft loops suggest warmth and intimacy, with a slightly nostalgic, boutique feel rather than a formal engraved look.
Designed to capture the feel of elegant everyday handwriting: light, flowing, and decorative, with standout capitals for names and headings. The emphasis is on smooth continuity and ornamental gestures that add personality without becoming overly formal.
Spacing appears intentionally open, allowing the long connectors and swashes to breathe, but the most flourished capitals can become prominent in tight settings. The stroke style stays uniform throughout, emphasizing fluidity over sharp contrasts or rigid baselines.
